How would this differ from the Special 20?A Special 20 does not have the reedplates flush with the front face of the comb. MB reedplates are, and if you look at a MB there is also a groove along the front edge of the reedplates that the coverplates sit in. With the current Special 20 and Marine bands the Marine Band is also 3mm thinner in the depth of the comb (front to back) and they also have different shaped coverplates with slots in the sides.

The MB doesn't need any radical dimension changes, just lose the wooden comb and replace it with a plastic one of the exact same dimensions, line the comb up with the edges of the reedplates, every thing the same just get rid of the wooden comb and nails.
